Thanks! Bonsai is, of itself, very dualistic. The ideal bonsai would
arguably look like a miniature of a full size tree, so I attempted to
achieve that as well, while still keeping certain other cues, like the
larger-than-normal leaves.
Bonsai purists may hate me for this picture, however, as the introduction of
miniatures into a bonsai is most often frowned upon. Of course, "live"
miniature people might be ok, if the Japanese had some handy. ;-)

Thanks for refreshing (F5) my memory. Why did you change the texture of the
table? I liked the wood that the legs were made from.
The new tree is more pleasing to the eye. Out of curiosity I differenced the two
images in psp. I liked the result.

I'm pretty sure I didn't change that. Any differences are probably due to
changes in the lighting.

The front leftmost leg, as you look at it, looks quite different, to me.
